Supercharged Outlaws session 5
The Supercharged Outlaws handle their own qualifying so this is not a qualifying list per se but who did what in this session.
Neil Townson towed back to the pits after the first run of the session. Ian Merryweather's Banzi altered took a step to the
left just past the eighth but Ian kept hold of it. Next pair and a great 100-foot burnout by Paul Watts in the big pick-up.
Wayward burnout by Aaron Windridge, started well enough but then a sudden left turn and up on three wheels, went close to Chief Starter
Ian Marshall (who looked down at his feet, presumably to check that they were still there) and then pulled it away from
the Tree at the last moment. Aaron's run not entirely straight also, next pair shut off for a mop-and-Billys clean-up and
sled with the tractor. On the restart a 100-foot burnout by Paul Watts in the big Chevy. Roy Wilding looked ot be set to
return to the pits but whatever ailed the Helzapoppin' altered was sorted and he closed the session.

Outlaw Anglia eliminations round 1
Brian Nixon in as an alternate for Matt Cooper and drama in his pair as Ronnie Mercer's car did a hard left off the line and
crossed lanes. Right tyre mark was shake, hourglass then shake again. Ronnie did a great job of keeping it shiny side up, was up on
two wheels for a moment. Looked from here like a problem with the rear end, the tow off the track was very slow. Similar story for Barry
Crookston, wheelie but then on landing a hard left and crossed lanes, punched it back towards his own lane and was up on three wheels,
off the gas and pulled it straight. Simon Barlow backed up yesterday's 193.72 for an Outlaw Anglia speed record, well done Simon and team!
no burnout for Mick Taylor, staged for points. Another fantastic pass for Steve Wells in the last pair, ce to his PB.

Good morning and welcome to our coverage of the NSRA Hot Rod Drags brought to you in association with
John Woolfe Racing.
It's another beautiful day here at Santa Pod Raceway. Sunny, high hazy cloud, a gentle breeze up the track.
Today we will be bringing you elimination results for those classes which are in competition and an end-day gallery
courtesy of Julian and DD.
No webcast from us today; Santa Pod are providing the webcast for this event and you can check out the YouTube and Facebook
variants of the stream via the Event Index. As this is not our webcast we won't be entertaining queries or comments about it.
The traditional raceday Good Morning to our US Correspondent Kathy Hileman who has been in Scotland and the Isles this week
but who is headed back to the USA today. A big Good Morning also to the Eurodragsterholics, with a special wave to Kai Plathan
and the faithful Otto in Vehkataipale, Finland, to Ivar Kolberg in Norway, to Benni Voss in Germany, and to Bob Roberts here in Blighty.
The track opens at 09:30 with the first rounds of eliminations for the Gasser Circus and Outlaw Anglia. Stay tuned and as soon
as the wheels start to turn we'll bring you the news. In the meantime you could take a look at yesterday's report, pit notes and
gallery which are available via the Event Index.
